What are you grateful for?

While being depressed, there was a time that I didn’t feel grateful for anything in my life. I felt like I could’ve only picked on the negative things that kept happening. That soon led to me feeling ever more worthless, useless and depressed.

Since then, I have read tons of articles, books, watched videos and listened to people around me.
In every self-help book or article, there was always the exercise that asked you to write down at least 3 things that you were grateful for that day, every day for at least a month. At first, I really didn’t see the point of it and I found it really hard to do. It took me some more time, more reading and self-help videos to understand it.
Now, I know that if we want things to change in our lives we have to feel thankful even for the smallest things in our lives. Developing the habit to thank for what we already have it’s an extremely important in order to change our lives. We become more positive about the world around us and we start to attract even more of good things into our lives.
Just like negativity attracts more negativity. More gratitude attracts better, more positive outlook and outcome for us.
